Chapter 256: Knowing Advance and Retreat

Seeing Sun Shaozong looking at the recital and looking up at himself playfully, Zhou Ruqing asked solemnly: "What does Sun Zhizhong think this recital is written?" ”

"Naturally, it's bullshit!"

Xiang Yi hurriedly scolded again: "It is clear that you tried to kidnap the North Korean envoy in order to escape with the stolen money from corruption, but it was all because Brother Sun sacrificed his life to stop it, so you failed to succeed!" ”

"As for the Lin Domain, I first turned a blind eye to your various actions, and when I went to ask for help, I repeatedly delayed and refused to send troops, which is obviously a failure!"

"All these things are really worthy of being a minister and not a son of man!"

"But it's good for you guys to shamelessly say anything about secret communication and command, if you decide me!"

This Yi don't look at the quiet and slender, but the confidence is quite sufficient, and a thick phlegm squirts out a lot, and it is falling on Zhou Ruqing's black gauze hat!

Zhou Ruqing was not annoyed, calmly took off the black gauze hat, put it on the coffee table on the side, sighed, and said, "Master Xiang is obviously past the age of establishment, but how can he be so frizzy?" ”

Xiang Yi was about to talk back, but he heard him say again: "If you report today's events according to what Master Xiang said, how many of them can be left alone?" ”

"There is a way to forgive people and forgive people, since the old man is ready to confess his guilt and ambush him, then Hu Zhentai has already died of evil, why do the two of them have to hold on to the small place and insist on offending the officials of this province?"

Xiang Yi listened to his sophistry, and his heart was even more annoyed, but Zhou Ruqing kept saying that he had put himself to death, as if he was just interceding for other officials in the province, so although he wanted to refute, he didn't know where to start for a while.

was thinking hard about finding a breakthrough point, so he heard Zhou Ruqing say again: "Besides, according to Lord Xiang's intentions, if someone intends to kidnap the North Korean envoys, should it be played according to the truth and made it known to everyone?" ”

Xiang Yi said angrily: "What someone has the intention of, it's obviously your ......"

"Master Xiang!"

Zhou Ruqing once interrupted his words and asked sharply: "Do you know that the Korean country, because of the repeated attacks of Heishui, but the imperial court is powerless to stop it, it already has a grudge against my Great Zhou?!" ”

"If this matter is known to the Korean envoy, the Korean state will inevitably be even more alienated from my Great Zhou!"

"At the moment, the North Korean envoy is not aware of it, and Zhou is already a capital crime, so why does Lord Xiang have to make a big deal about it?"

"Could it be that Lord Xiang has to fall into a dilemma between the court and the court for the sake of merit and fame and fortune?!"

This sharp tooth and tooth fight really scared Xiang Yi, he is not a person who sells fame and reputation, and naturally he is not willing to put the Great Zhou Dynasty in a disadvantageous situation for any 'merit'.

Therefore, it was difficult to speak, and I was a little shaken by what Zhou Ruqing said.

"Huh."

At this moment, I heard Sun Shaozong shake his head and said with a smile: "Governor Zhou is really a good mouthful of iron teeth and steel teeth, listening to your reversal of black and white, it seems that we want to make trouble unreasonably." ”

As he spoke, he slammed his face and sneered: "If you want to save your family's life, you might as well say it bluntly, with these empty excuses, you also want to fool Sun?!" ”

That's right!

This Xiang Yi also reacted, this guy kept saying that he was willing to admit the law and ambush him, so it doesn't matter if the crime is large, but only the punishment of the head of the evil and the beheading of the whole family, how can the two be compared? !

Thinking that he was stupidly bypassed by him, Xiang Yi couldn't help but say angrily: "What a dog thief, how dare you ...... like this now"

Puff~

This time, he still couldn't finish his words, because just halfway through the sentence, Zhou Ruqing, who had been immobile like a mountain and full of majesty, actually knelt in front of the two of them with weak knees!

The dignified governor actually knelt down for himself?!

Xiang Yi was a little confused at that time, and looked at Zhou Ruqing in a daze as he walked a few steps on his knees, and cried: "Two adults, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a grandson who is waiting to be fed!" It's not a pity for Zhou to die by himself, I just ask the two adults to raise their noble hands, show mercy, and let my Zhou family go to the house! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed the ground with his head, and the bluestone slab he hit slammed.

Seeing that within a few strokes, his forehead was already bleeding, and Xiang Yi's heart couldn't help but waver.

How can I say that this is also a dignified governor of Zhili, but now it is like this......

Just a little soft-hearted, I heard Sun Shaozong sneer again: "Lord Zhou's official residence is secondary, haven't you even read the laws of the Great Zhou?" The Taizu of this dynasty respects the old and pity the young the most, so it is stipulated that except for the major crime of rebellion, those over 80 and under the age of 6 are not among the beheadings. ”

As he spoke, he leaned down slightly, stared at Zhou Ruqing gloomily and said, "So the Governor doesn't have to worry about his old mother and young grandson at all, you can rest assured that you can go to Huangquan with the whole of the Mansion!" ”

As soon as Zhou Ruqing heard this, he collapsed to the ground, raised his head like a plague chicken, and said sadly: "The old man begged for each other so much, Sun Zhizhong even wanted to kill them all!" Could it be that I have some grudge against you?! ”

"No hatred, no grudges!"

Sun Shaozong's waist straightened and he sneered: "But when you are bold and reckless, when you withhold the disaster relief money, you should know that there is a time and today!" ”

After a pause, he couldn't help but add again: "If this court really wants to say that it is innocent, I'm afraid I can't pick out much, but someone like you who even has to fill the people's life-saving money is innocent!" ”

Zhou Ruqing looked at him for a while, and the resentment on his face gradually disappeared, turning into a lifeless decadence.

"Alas~"

He leaned back, changed his kneeling position to a sitting position, wiped the blood from his face with his sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the old man is boasting, I used to be an official and I was quite honest, and I didn't dare to move this disaster relief silver." ”

"Why did I suddenly hear from Beijing last autumn that His Majesty was dissatisfied with me and intended to elect another person to serve as the governor of Zhili, and was seeking advice from important ministers in the court!"

"This is the number one governor in the world! How many years has the old man waited for the opportunity to come, how can he be willing to miss it?! So I can only be greedy for this terrible silver, and go to the lifeless pawn! ”

"In the end, I'm still greedy, but I'm not greedy for money, but power!"

"You're not greedy for money?"

Xiang Yi couldn't bear it anymore when he heard this, and said with a raised eyebrow: "If you are not greedy for money, you just need to flee overnight, how can you still have today?!" ”

Zhou Ruqing knew that what he was talking about was his act of sending people around to search for the gentry, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and spread his hands and said: "Without his official body, he can't get a heavy reward, what will the old man do to entrap his cronies?" If the hearts of the people below are scattered, what will happen to the old man at sea in the future may not be better than confessing his sins. ”

As he spoke, he said to Sun Shaozong again: "Lord Sun, now the old man has no extravagant hopes, if you still have anything to ask, just interrogate." ”

Sun Shaozong looked at him with his 'sincere' gaze for a while, but shook his head decisively and said, "Sun has nothing to ask." ”

Xiang Yi hurriedly said on the side: "Brother Sun! You ......"

Sun Shaozong raised his hand to interrupt his words, turned the piece of music upside down in his hand, and said: "In addition, Sun will also return this piece to the political envoy, and then he will play it to His Majesty." ”

"Brother Sun! This ......"

"But!"

Sun Shaozong interrupted Xiang Yi's words again and continued: "This official will also draft another secret recital, invite Master Lin, who is 'in command', to sign it together, and then report the matter to the original through the Beizhen Fusi. ”

After all, he still compromised partially, hung up the words 'command is determined', and was not ready to fight with the officials of this mansion.

"Alas~"

Zhou Ruqing was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it is a pity that Zhou is not blessed, and he can't see the day when Sun Zhi is the most powerful minister." ”

With that, he staggered out.

Sun Shaozong kept watching him go out of the gate of the East Cross Courtyard under the 'surrounding' of those officers and soldiers, and then he retracted his gaze and smiled at Xiang Yi, who was full of grievances: "Brother Xiang, what do you have to ask?" ”

"Naturally, there is something to ask!"

Xiang Yi said angrily: "That Zhou Ruqing had obviously confessed that he had used the greedy disaster relief money to bribe the governor's official position. ”

"Straight to the roots?"

Sun Shaozong laughed, shook his head and said: "Brother Xiang, don't look down on me, I also have a head and two shoulders, and I have a wife and children to support at home, but I can't afford to learn that Hai Rui!" ”

Saying that, he leaned back lazily: "We can take down Zhou Ruqing this time, it's just a coincidence, as for those masters who have to be careful even from the second-grade high-ranking officials, let's wait for me to achieve the second-grade or above, and then make it clear with them." ”

Xiang Yi couldn't help but be a little discouraged when he heard this, and sat down next to him sullenly, but suddenly said strangely: "Who is Hai Rui?" Why didn't even Brother Sun dare to learn from him? ”
